REPORT RECOMMENDATION

 

That the  recommend Council approve an amendment to the Nepean Zoning By-law to change the zoning of 135 Woodfield Drive, from Institutional (I) Block 10 to Institutional (I) as shown on Document 1.

 

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT

 

Que le Comité de  recommande au Conseil d’approuver une modification au Règlement de zonage de Nepean afin de changer la désignation de zonage du 135, promenade Woodfield de zone institutionnelle (I), bloc 10, à zone institutionnelle (I), tel qu’il est indiqué dans le document 1

 

 

BACKGROUND

 

135 Woodfield Drive is located on the north side of Woodfield Drive, at the T-intersection of Woodfield Drive and Downsview Crescent within the Tanglewood Residential Community, north of the West Hunt Club Road, west of Merivale Road and east of Woodroffe Road.


The subject site is a 3035.25-square metre parcel of land, legally described as Part 1 on Plan 4R‑879, Conc. 1 R.F., Part Lot 29  A majority of this property is surrounded by existing residential use; while there is a hydro corridor located directly to the north, at the rear of the church property.  

 

Purpose of Zoning Amendment

 

The proposed Zoning By-law amendment is a City initiated technical amendment to the Nepean Zoning By‑law to rezone the property from 'Institutional (I) Block 10 to Institutional (I).  The purpose of this amendment is to have the subject lands zoned as - 'I - Institutional', to allow for the existing church usage and future church addition.

 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Official Plan

 

The site is designated as 'General Urban Area' in the Official Plan. This designation allows for institutional use, such as a church.  The proposed zoning is in conformity with these policies.

 

Existing Zoning

 

The Institutional (I) Block 10 zoning was used to allow for the existing east/west hydro corridor that directly abuts the rear property line of the existing church.  The existing church was included in the Institutional (I) Block 10 zoning in error at the time of the preparation of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law by the former City of Nepean. However, at the time of enactment, the existing church was included in the current zoning in error.

 

Proposed Zoning

 

The purpose of the proposed Institutional (I) zoning is to reflect the existing church as a permitted use.  A Site Plan application for a future church addition to the existing church has been submitted to the City, and is currently under review.

 

Staff supports the Zoning By-law amendment proposal based on the above-noted considerations and recommends approval of the application.

 

 

CONSULTATION

 

Notice of this application was carried out in accordance with the City's Public Notification and Consultation Policy.  The Ward Councillor is aware of this application and the staff recommendation.  The City did not receive any negative comments or opposition to this application.
